Free 32-Point Bike Check
Before any service or repair we'll check your bike for free. This includes checking for wear, damage and ensuring your bike is safe to ride. This is a free service to help you get back on your bike.
Our expertly trained bike mechanics will provide you with a free 32 point bike health check to spot any problems before they develop into bigger ones**. We will check all bikes, kids and adults, of any size and discipline.
What's included?
It goes without saying that your safety is essential, at Halfords we pride ourselves on knowing how to keep your bike in top condition. Like any mode of transport your bike needs to be looked after and regularly checked for wear and tear. That's where we come in!
With our free Halfords bike health check we inspect points across all key areas of your bike. These include:
- Frame, Saddle and Handlebars
- Wheels; Tyres, Rims, Spokes and Hubs
- Brake system; Levers, Calipers, Pads and Cables
- Drivetrain; Gears, Levers, Chain, Bottom Bracket, Cranks and Cables
- A visual check for all e-bike electrical components to highlight any physical damage that may affect performance
What to expect on the day
We carry out what is called an ‘M-check’ on the above areas, checking the bike thoroughly from top to bottom and assessing all 32 elements for signs of wear, damage or adjustment requirements. This will either confirm that your bike is in good condition to continue riding, or it will determine if any maintenance or service is required in order to maintain safe and efficient cycling.
If we spot a problem that requires a service we can book your bike in, at the first available opportunity, so it can be repaired by one of our fully qualified mechanics.
